Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"Mitsui, I will not lose to you." After saying this, Akagi handed the ball to the cross country

"Hmph, it was just a lucky block." Mitsui wiped the sweat off his face and turned back to defense. The two sides played very fiercely. In a blink of an eye, the first half was over and the two sides ended in a tie.

"Change the lineup in the second half. Kogure-san, you come on the court. Nakajima, Katsumi, Hasegawa, and Yutaka will be in your group. Akagi, Mitsui, Horita, Saito-san, and Iida-san will be in your group. Kusao Takeshi-san, you go off the court and rest. Kogure-san, do you understand what I mean?" Coach Anzai called Kogure over again.

"I understand. You want me to guide the first-year students to develop their strength, right?" Mugure replied.

"Very good, that's what I mean." Coach Anxi nodded with satisfaction.

"Coach, except for Hasegawa, all the other students in Kogure-senpai's group are freshmen. Isn't there a big gap in their abilities?" Ayako asked worriedly.

"Oh, Ayako-san, watch the game carefully. Basketball is not just about individual strength. As long as the tactics are right, everything is possible."

"Everyone, listen to my instructions." Mu Mu called his teammates together and arranged tactics.

Second half begins

Saito passed the ball to Mitsui, who advanced to the front court with the ball. The defender in front of him was Hasegawa.

"As expected," Mitsui smiled coldly. At this time, Kemei and Mu Mu came from both sides, and the three of them formed a circle, surrounding Mitsui as the main

"Nani?!" Mitsui was shocked. He didn't expect the opponent to double-team him! If it was a one-on-two situation, Mitsui was not afraid, but three people came together, and two of them were familiar with his offensive methods. Even Kemei was his junior. They played together for a year. He also understood his offensive methods. Although Mitsui relied on his strong ball control ability and would not be easily intercepted, he could not find a chance to break through after rushing left and right! The ball fell into a stagnant state.

"Mitsui" Akagi found something wrong. Although Akagi always wanted to compete with Mitsui for the top spot in the team, he was just dissatisfied in private. Now the two are on the same team. Akagi needs to help Mitsui out of trouble and run out from the inside to support.

Taking advantage of a gap that he finally found, Mitsui immediately passed the ball.

"Snap!" Unexpectedly, the ball was intercepted by Nakajima who was following closely behind Akagi. Although Nakajima's physique was far inferior to Akagi's, his flexibility was better than Akagi's. Thanks to his previous experience as a goalkeeper, he moved faster and intercepted the ball one step ahead.

Mumu rushed over and grabbed the ball. "Quick break!" Mumu made a long pass and started off quickly. Layup!

"Haha, this defense is really good," Coach Anzai nodded. Coach Anzai would never have thought that he had used this defense in the original work, and Mu Mu copied this tactic because he was familiar with the original work.

The red team (the team that Mitsui and Akagi belong to) continued to attack, and the Murasaki team (the yellow team) repeated the same trick. Although Akagi came out to support, because Nakajima was always following Akagi, Mitsui successfully passed the ball, but Akagi failed to hold the basketball due to Nakajima's interference, and the ball hit his hand and went out of the sideline. The yellow team served. Murasaki received the serve from Yueyue

"Saito, you go to defend the off-road, and I'll take care of Mu Mu." Mitsui directed his teammates

"Everyone, don't just stand there, move," Mugure signaled, and winked at Hasegawa, who understood and moved out to screen. Mitsui noticed Hasegawa with his peripheral vision. He was ready to bypass Hasegawa, but Mugure did the opposite, dribbling from the other side. Mitsui didn't expect Mugure to do this, and Mugure broke into the inside. Saito came to help defend, but Mugure accelerated and passed Saito and broke into the basket. Akagi came up to help defend, and Mugure made a ground pass to Nakajima, who scored easily.

The red team attacked. This time Mitsui was prepared for the double-team and signaled Horita and Saito to come over and respond. Although Saito's layup was blocked, Akagi grabbed the rebound and scored on the second attack.

Mumu dribbled the ball and faced Mitsui who was waiting for him. He suddenly passed the ball to the left at 45 degrees. At the same time, a figure caught the ball, jumped up and made a three-pointer.

Although Kemei scored a beautiful three-pointer, the red team was not to be outdone. With the cover of Saito and Horita, Mitsui hit back with a three-pointer.

Under the cover of Hasegawa, Murasakibara bypassed Mitsui's defense, but this time Horida was prepared and took position in advance, blocking Murasakibara's offensive route. However, Murasakibara was not in a hurry. He passed the ball to Hasegawa and then cut. Hasegawa understood and passed it to Murasakibara, but Mitsui had expected this move and rushed back to defend. However, Mitsui was surprised to find that the ball was not in Murasakibara's hands. It turned out that Murasakibara passed the ball to Yueyue who ran out of the open space, and Yueyue made a mid-range shot!

"Good job, cross country!" Mu Mu gave a thumbs up

"Why do I feel that I am much more relaxed than in the first half? As soon as I ran out of space, the ball came into my hands. It was really easy to score." Not only Yueyue, but also Kemei and Nakajima felt that it was easy for them to score.

"It's strange. The team led by Mugure-senpai is obviously inferior to the team led by Mitsui and Akagi-senpai, but now it seems that they are not at a disadvantage at all." Ayako also felt incredible off the court.

"That's because Murasakibara's opponent is Mitsui. First of all, Murasakibara attracted Mitsui, the outside ace. Katsumi and Hasegawa's opponents are not as good as themselves, which reduces the offensive pressure. If Akagi-san makes up for the defense, then Nakajima under the basket will also score, which will pin Akagi-san under the basket. In addition, Murasakibara watched the game off the court and already understood the offensive methods of these first-year students. He will pass the ball at the right time. This makes it impossible for the red team to defend the yellow team's offense," Coach Anzai explained.

"I see. No wonder the coach said that basketball is not won by individual strength. No wonder we have the ability but can't achieve good results in junior high school," Ayako thought.

The red team attacked. This time, Mitsui did not choose to attack, but used his strength to attract defense. Saito handed it to Akagi, who scored a singles point.

The yellow team attacked, and this time Murasakibara did not pass the ball, but suddenly shot. Mitsui was caught off guard and failed to block it in time, so Murasakibara made the shot!

For a period of time afterwards, the attacks of both sides were like mercury pouring out of the ground, and neither side could defend against the other. At the last moment, the red team took advantage of the first-year students' declining physical strength to widen the score. In the end, Mitsui's team defeated the first-year team led by Mugure 51:45.

"Haha, in this game, there is no winner or loser. Everyone performed very well. I am very satisfied. Next, I will develop a training plan for you, and you will improve yourself according to the plan. I will also contact other high schools to have warm-up matches with you to test your training results." Coach Anxi commented on the game.

"First-year juniors, through this team competition, I have also witnessed your strength. Although everyone's strength varies, no matter what you do, it doesn't matter if you have no experience or even poor talent. However, if you lack perseverance and the desire to win, you will definitely achieve nothing. Since you have stayed in Xiangbei, you must work hard and leave no regrets for yourself." Captain Kusao Takeshi paused and continued, "Our goal is--"

"Dominate the country!"
